IOS updates overwrite saved data?

Hi, I've started receiving a steady trickle of complaints from iOS users who claim that updating my game overwrites the saved data they had (I'm using SharedObject). Does anybody else have any experience of this or can imagine why it would be so? I'm not sure what I can do about it myself, as it's the Apple device that does as it wishes with files whilst "syncing"!

You possibly updated from AIR 3.4 to AIR 3.5. The issue has been fixed in AIR 3.6. More details can be found in the blog post https://blogs.adobe.com/airodynamics/2012/12/10/changed-behavior-of-shared-object-on-ios-i n-air-3-5/

When and how to update the "saved data" in report ?

Hi,
The BO version is "BusinessObjects Enterprise 12.0"
The case is that, some reports are uploaded withe saved data. while viewing the reports, the reports return the old data.
How to view the update data while click the "View" in CMC/InfoView ?
I have tried to schedule it , then can see the update data in "View the latest instance".
Is there any approach to refresh/update the saved data in the report ?
Thanks and regards,
Forest

Hello Forest lin,
I recommend to post this query to the [BusinessObjects Enterprise Administration|BI Platform; forum.
This forum is dedicated to topics related to administration and configuration of BusinessObjects Enterprise, BusinessObjects Edge, and Crystal Reports Server.
It is monitored by qualified technicians and you will get a faster response there.
Also, all BOE Administration queries remain in one place and thus can be easily searched in one place.

How do I disable future iOS updates till later date to prevent problems with non iOS compliant Apps?

Hello first time post here so excuse me if my posting etiquette is off and this seems lengthy.
I am a beginning tech (4 months) in a school district that has started the 1 to 1 initiative with iPads (iPad 2).
There is a huge learning curve I am facing as I don't know hardly anything about the new piece of software - apple Configurator. (A side note I was issued my very first iPad in the same time working for the district. BTW liking the iPad a lot).
I am looking for friendly beginning user info on how to operate the Apple Configurator - suggestions? At this time I have only served in an observer capacity as it assigned to someone else in the district to do. However I know this person would appreciate another mind to help out around the problem so I need to get up to speed.
This a story of bumps and scrapes and bruises on the 1-1 initiative in the district and its 4 major hiccups have occurred (that I observed).
I am hoping others have discovered these problems and figured out a way to handle them or avoid them and would be willing to share what you did.
Here goes...
The district started the 1-1 initiative roughly 3 years ago. They had a person in the middle school (way before me) in charge of the iPads. They used the IPhone Configurator device to manage the iPads. My understanding was this was very slow. That person was finally able to retire and took their knowledge they had of the iPhone Configurator utility that they used with them.The district chose to start using the Apple Configurator software this year for iPad management.
We have a brand new person that has been put in charge of this. The person did not know the software either (nor did anyone else in the district).This person has made great strides to learn the software. However there has been some issues along the way:
        1. The school where the iPad 1-1 initiative is a middle school. The students are assigned the same iPad for all three years. As 6th graders come in they are issued an iPad. As the 8th grade finishes up, they head on to high school and the iPads gets recycled to the next 6th graders walking in the door. Each grade level has there own set of apps, so the (finished) 8th graders iPads get reset for the next 6th graders walking in.
The issue is (my understanding) is that the volume purchase apps did not always revert back to the Apple Configurator/App store spread sheets before the iPads were reset. It took an act of congress with Apple to refund these apps because they were lost. Mind you we have 400 iPads in just this school alone so you can see why it was important to get these Volume Purchase Apps refunded to put on the new 6th graders iPads. $$$
         2. When the iPads were given to the students, the Apps would not work and all they would do is shake for a second. The iPads were recollected and redone. Time away from the students and classes.
        3. The iPads were refinished (with all the apps reinstalled) and given to the students. Then the students were given instructions in class how to manually setup their exchange email accounts on their iPads. Turns out the restrictions on the iPads (from the apple Configurator) were set up so the email info they put in could not verify with the exchange server. They wouldn't send or receive. So the iPads were all recalled back (time away from students and their classes again) and redone with the restrictions/ apps reinstalled.
        4. Most recent problem... iOS6 came out and all of a sudden we find out that two of our biggest 3rd party Apps were having problems with it. So it made the Apps at that point worthless. (These are paid for - expensive, most used by the school Apps). Well there was no way to prevent the students from updating to IOS6 on their own (mind you they can't get to the App Store) but they can do the iOS6 update whenever they want. Before the problem was discovered, students were prompted by their iPads and they started doing the iOS6 update. I discovered this and immediately had the secretary send out emails to everyone do not download this thing because it was making problems for existing installed Apps. Of course there are were a few more students that were like "this don't apply to me right?" and they downloaded it anyways.
So after 3 weeks of these apps not working, App update/releases were finally given and they are working again. So far we have only fixed some of iOS6 kids that are in need of those two broken apps.
Now we are at a crossroad with the other 95 installed apps to consider ... if we let the students update to iOS6 to fix the two broken apps will it interfere with the other 93 apps that are working under iOS5.1...
This iOS update thing would be better considered in the summer time for us (for future iOS updates).
So I need to know is there away to prevent this in the future? Is there away to hold off the iOS updates till summer? I've seen people say control it by blocking it through the network but it doesn't prevent them from doing this at home. Where in the apple Configurator can we control this?
Thanks for reading.

You will not be able to block IOS 6. You can try blocking it with a webfilter or firewall but if the students take these home or connect to another network or iTunes they can get it that way.   You will find that the vast majority of all apps will work with 6 or have been updated to work with it by now.

Manual ios update and all data lost?

I updated my ipad manually and everything went well but when i updated my dads ipod touch 3g all data was LOST!!!!!! My dad went mad!! He had tonnes of songs in his collection especially old songs and he didnt make any back up.......please suggest how i can recover these songs my dad is sooooo upset!
THanks in advance!!!

If they are not on the iPod or computer they are gone. However, iTunes purchases can be redownload by:
Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store
If the synced items like music and apps are not in the iTunes library on which you do an update they well be lost since the backup that iTunes makes does not included synced media like aps or music.
See:

Updated ipod to iOS5 and ALL saved data for games was deleted...

Updated ipod to iOS5 and ALL saved data for games was deleted, basiclly got to start all games again from start. More annoyed about in-app purchases
Angry birds including the Mighty Eagle which bought, nowI have to buy it again if i want it making me spend more money, and Pinball HD whichI had Slayer another in-app purchase but got to buy it again.
Angry bird seasons, Doctor Who Parking Mania, Cut the rope and much more, every game i checked so far except for 2 games i got works thru from game Center
I did update iPod before updated iOS so saved data should be on ipod, Videos music all on ipod except for camera roll they all been deleted as well thanks to apple.
is there any way of recovering it from itunes back onto ipod so theres no loss, If i cant then what?
ipod was 4.3.3 before the update the previous version

Go to iTunes>Preferences>Devices and look at the date of the backup. Does the date f the backup correspond to whene the saved games would be on the iOd? If so, restore the iPod from backup. Make sure that the apps are in the iTunes library so they will be synced t the iPOd as part of the restore from backup
Make sure thew auto-syncing is turned off . Otherwise, when yu connct the iPod to the computer the old backup will be deleted and replaced with the new ne that doe not contain the data. To turn off, check the box in iTunes>Prefernences>Devices that says "Prevent iPods....syncing".

Can i still use the "game saved data" backup i made on my ios5.1.1 device be used on ios6 if i were to update?

i had an ipodtouch 4g on iOS 5.1.1 and i'm thinking about updating. i had the backup but i want to know if i can still play my saved datas, like for example, Plants Vs. Zombies and i want to continue my profile on the iOS6. Is it possible?

Yes, if all goes well your game data will be present after the update. For added assurance, manually backup the iPod to both iCloud and iTunes so you can manually restore from backup if you have problems.

Seems you've learned a valuable lesson about how important it is do regularly backup the device.

Just downloaded the 7.1 IOS update and I'm able to stream my music from the cloud. Does this use up data and how can I get it to stop pausing for periods of time?

Just downloaded the 7.1.1 IOS update and I'm able to stream my music from the cloud. I'm wondering how I can stream more than just my purchased music?And does this use up data? Also, how can I get playback to stop pausing for periods of time? It is a wifi thing??

If streaming music when connected to your carrier's cellular network, it uses cellular data.
Only the music you purchased from the iTunes Store can be streamed unless you have purchased iTunes Match.
If there is a slow down at the server where the music is stored or high traffic, steaming can be paused. You can also download a song from the iTunes Store cloud to your iPhone so it doesn't need to be steamed.

Saved data and updates

Hello,
If I use SaveData in an app, and that app is later updated through the store, does the saved data from SaveData remain in tact, or is it overwritten?
Thanks!
-Bruton

Hi Bruton,
When updating an app, the file saved using SavedData will remain intact if you update the app. However, if you uninstall the app, the SaveData will be removed.

HT4623 why does my ipad say its ios is up to date but i havent updated it to ios7

First generation iPads cannot be upgraded to iOS 7. Which generation do you have?

Is the data exchanged with the Apple Servers during a manual/itunes ios update any different between a PC and Mac?

When performing an ios update with an ipsw file, data is exchanged with an apple server to complete the update to the newer ios version. Without an internet connection to the apple server the update does not complete.
Can and Apple software engineer please answer if there is anything done differently during this data exchange process between a Macintosh vs a PC? If not here within the forum, can someone provide me a phone number, email or mail address to contact to get this information? The answer is very important to the organization that I belong to.
From a privacy standpoint, I assume the device name and perhaps some other data is submitted to verify the identity of the device being updated but is any personal information submitted like email, contacts or any other data potentially typed by the user sent during the connection to the Apple update server?
My understanding is that user generated data, settings and apps are handled entirely with the backup file if ones is created?
Dan

Apple does not participate in these forums, so you will not get a reply from an Apple engineer, nor will there be any way for you to contact anyone in the iTunes or iOS engineering team.
I do not, however, think that there is any difference between the Mac and Windows versions of iTunes in what information they transmit to Apple's services. In either version no personal information of any sort is sent when only doing an update to iOS, only to the best of my knowledge the device identification so that the correct update file can be delivered. The only time any of your contacts or any other such information would be sent to Apple's servers is if you are synchronizing via iCloud, and emails only if you use iCloud's email service.
My understanding is that user generated data, settings and apps are handled entirely with the backup file if ones is created?
Except for synchronizing with iCloud, that would be correct. This may be of interest:
